When: Monday, May 30th 6:00PM (pizza around 5:30)
Where: Tipping Canoe (101-141 Bannatyne Ave. Winnipeg)
What: An overview of OOP in PHP, including new features in 5.3:
- why OOP in PHP
- namespaces
- inheritance and overrides
- plus, some functional programming features
Who: Orion Ifland has been a senior developer at Tipping
Canoe since 2009. Orion has led teams in developing web-based
consumer applications built on the LAMP stack and brings a passion for
test-driven development and continuous integration. He has also been
instrumental in integrating many of the precepts of Scrum into his
teams. Orion holds a Bachelor’s Degree of Computer Science from
Trinity Western University.
How: We’re planning on bringing in the pizza a few minutes earlier so folks
can socialize a bit before the presentation starts. As always we will
try to keep the presentation under an hour so people can get home at a
reasonable time, but there’s always extra chat time after the event
and later on at the King’s Head for those so inclined.
I am working at getting a permanent home up on teh interwebs for
Winnipeg PHP, but in the meantime you can always check into our Google
Group @ http://groups.google.com/group/winnipeg-php or our Facebook
Group – look it up: “Winnipeg PHP”.
